What's better?

ATi Radeon 9200 128Mb

or

nVidia GeForce FX5200 128Mb

I don't know, so I'm asking you guys. I'm going to get one or the other, so I want to know which one is better.

The Radeon 9200...all Radeons can do DX9, and the Geforce card has incomplete features such as AA and pixel shading etc

the radeon 9200 is a remarked radion 8500... double check... its true ^_^

the radeon 9000, 9100, and 9200 actually only do DirectX 8.1.... read thier specs....

its the radeon 9500 and higher that has directX 9...

Can't say much on the Radeon, but I do have a 5200 and it works fine. And has DX-9 support.

As far as games - it's not nearly what you'd call a very fast card (even my other GF 4200 smokes it!), but it does have plenty of texture memory. And yea, DX 9. Plus, it's hella-cheap.

I don't know how the 9200 goes, but I myself wouldn't go for a Radeon lest it was a 9700 or 9800...
